Chicken Tikka Masala

Recommended Posts

Credit to BBC Good Food for this recipe.

 

Ingredients

4 tbsp vegetable oil

25g butter

4 onions, roughly chopped

6 tbsp chicken tikka masala paste (use shop-bought or make your own – see recipe, below)

2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2.5cm cubes

2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes

4 tbsp tomato purée

2-3 tbsp mango chutney

150ml double cream

150ml natural yogurt

chopped coriander leaves, to serve

 

MAKING YOUR OWN CURRY PASTE

In a small food processor, whizz together 5 garlic cloves, 1 large knob of ginger, roughly chopped, 1 red chilli, deseeded and roughly chopped, 2 tsp each ground cumin and coriander, 1 tsp each turmeric, paprika and garam masala, and the seeds from 4 cardamom pods. Add a little water or vegetable oil to bring the paste together. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to one month.

 

STEP 1

Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large, lidded casserole on the hob, then add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 mins until soft and golden.

STEP 2

Add the tikka masala paste and peppers, then cook for 5 mins more to cook out the rawness of the spices.

STEP 3

Add the chicken breasts and stir well to coat in the paste. Cook for 2 mins, then tip in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée and 200ml water. Cover with a lid and gently simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

STEP 4

Remove the lid, stir through the mango chutney, double cream and natural yogurt, then gently warm through. Season, then set aside whatever you want to freeze. Will keep, in an airtight container, in the freezer for up to three months. Scatter the rest with coriander leaves and serve with basmati rice and naan bread.

p.s. if you haven't tried chicken tikka masala, you really should. It's considered a national dish of the UK!

After a thorough investigation and a big think, I conclude that this is, in fact, a red hatchling.

Are we going to have the naan first?   Because I gotta say, that's a ... naan starter.
